The Tenable Anomaly Blue is a standout everyday carry folding knife that blends eye-catching style with practical performance. Designed for those who value sleek lines, dependable materials, and smooth action in a compact package, this manual folder brings both personality and precision to your pocket. Whether you’re a collector, a gear enthusiast, or someone who simply appreciates a well-made tool, the Anomaly makes a strong case for daily rotation.
Its 3.14-inch drop point blade is crafted from Nitro-V stainless steel, a high-performance alloy that delivers excellent corrosion resistance, toughness, and edge retention. The blade’s blackwash finish gives it a subtle, tactical look while also helping to hide signs of use. With a clean, sweeping belly and a sturdy tip, the drop point design handles everything from precision slicing to light prying with ease. It’s a versatile shape that meets the varied demands of everyday carry without compromise.
Opening the Anomaly is quick and satisfying, thanks to a well-tuned blade flipper that offers smooth deployment. The knife rides on quality bearings, giving it a responsive action that feels dialed-in straight from the box. A secure linerlock engages with confidence, ensuring the blade stays firmly in place during use while still being easy to disengage with one hand.
One of the Anomaly’s most distinctive features is its blue Micarta handle. The rich color adds a striking contrast to the dark blade, while the frag-textured pattern provides excellent grip without being overly aggressive. Micarta offers a warm, organic feel in the hand, and it develops character over time as it absorbs oils from use. At 4.15 inches closed and just 3.07 ounces, the Anomaly carries light and disappears in the pocket, yet still feels substantial when opened and in use.
The handle’s ergonomic shape ensures all-day comfort and control, whether you’re tackling routine tasks or more involved work. A tip-up pocket clip offers secure and discreet carry, with just enough tension to stay put without tearing up your pockets. From the materials to the mechanics, every detail of the Anomaly Blue feels considered and refined.
The .12-inch blade thickness hits the sweet spot for slicing while maintaining enough durability for general use. This knife isn't overbuilt, but it’s not delicate either—it strikes a great balance for users who want something dependable without added weight or bulk. Whether you’re opening boxes, prepping snacks, or just fidgeting with the smooth action, the Anomaly is a pleasure to carry and use.
